To edit clips in Serif Movieplus X6, you can either chop roughly using the scissors icon at the top of the time-line or you can be more precise using the trim tool that is recognised by the stanley knife icon. It also automatically overlaps the last couple of seconds to the clips so that they fade in to each other. This is an easier way to see the video if you’re new to Serif Movieplus X6. Clicking on Storyboard will change the time-line to a tile system with each clip represented by a frame of video. It’s a simple drag and drop system with the video track, audio track and separate tracks to add titles to. Once all the footage and pictures have loaded, you can start adding them into the time-line. It would be nice to see a thumbnail at this point, but that’s not available until you drag it into the time-line which takes up the entire bottom half of the screen. Just select the file as you would open a picture in an editing suite and it puts it into the space to the right of the preview window. Importing media into Serif Movieplus X6 is a very easy task. Above the preview window are all the tabs for opening files, inserting media, arranging and exporting etc. The video that you use will be displayed in a small preview window in the top left of the screen. Starting a new project opens the main window for use. There are also some pre-made projects to open and see how they’re done, such as stop motion and tilt-shift. The opening screen of Serif Movieplus X6 utilises a pop up window giving multiple options such as starting a new project, opening an existing project or if you’re new to it, you can view some tutorials. It took us around 10 minutes including downloading the files to our computer with a feeble broadband connection.
